    It's unlucky to be superstitious

    Yeah, very unlucky to buy things for yourself!

    I'm gonna give a stranger a suitcase full of thousands to buy me a house so it never goes on fire or gets broken into! :rolleyes:

    On new year's eve, a friend gave me a euro to keep in my wallet. He said it's an old tradition and it meant that I'd never run out of money during the year. I thought it was cute, although obviously I'd never run out of money if I kept the euro. :o

    People make up this crap to suit them

    It's lucky to come and go via the back door = I don't want you walking sh1t into my hall

    It's rude to leave the toilet seat up = can't be arsed putting it down myself because you've probably pee'd on it

    It's unlucky to buy your own wallet = I know you have one but I have no idea what to get you for your birthday

    You can get pregnant on the first time ...

    etc etc

    The O.P is right you should never buy your own wallet/purse, mine was brought for me 15 years ago and i still have it and ive travelled and lived all over the world, never lost it once and ive been in many tricky and drunk situations. Dont mock something ye dont understand its all 2 easy to do.

    Close down your browser and stop promoting superstitious idiocy on the internet.

    No wonder you never lost it - most of your posts make it sound like you've never opened it.

    I've never actually bought myself one, have one from ex amde of recycled circuit boards that's it, and some others as presents from people that I don't really use.

    No problem buying one, luck thing is nonsense, never even heard that, but I do believe in being cheap.

    I've never heard of this either. If that woman had approached me in Penney's I'd have thought she was wierd but I'd have done if for her anyway.

    You learn something new every day on boards!
